Rome: Amphitheater of Castrense with parts labelled (Piranesi 1756)
In
this 1756 drawing by Piranesi, the arches of the lower floor of the
amphitheater (A) are shown embedded in the Aurelian Wall (D). Traces of
the original second floor of the theater (B) are seen at left, replaced
by a modern wall (C).
On top of the structure is the Church of S. Croce en Gerusalemme (E).
